...and London is Deserted (well, almost)

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

Scary, atmospheric, almost realistic zombie film about a man (Cillian Murphy) who awakens after a coma to find London completely deserted...with the exception of ferocious, bloodthirsty zombies. Soon he meets other survivors who are trying to do the same as him...stay alive.
A rather different approach to the "zombie movie" genre. Proof that a truly effective horror thriller doesn't need fancy computer-generated special effects...although there is a lot of gore and heavy-handed violence.
Leonardo DiCaprio was offered the role of Jim (Cillian Murphy's character), and Ewan McGreggor was considered for the same role.
